Looking for other dog owners of senior dogs who are interested in getting together once a week at a dog friendly location so our older dogs can socialize. There are lots of adult and puppy play groups, but what about the older dogs? An enclosed, off-leash park for maximum fun, but all locations considered including anyone's back yard. Interested?

Come trade techniques and practice together! Agility equipment can be expensive (and so are classes). Here's a way for us to pool our resources and our knowledge. Meet up, bring your doggies and whatever equipment you have (if any). Anyone with an interest in dog agility training is welcome (beginners and prize-winners and everyone in between). Let's play!

Dog owner? Wannabe dog owner? Fan of dogs... or just saw a dog in a park once? Startup folks are no strangers to long hours, crazy schedules and the emotional roller coaster of launching a business. But that's why we have dogs - nothing like a long walk or a great game of fetch to recharge. Come meet other startup folks, hang out with some amazing dogs, and get out of the office. We'll host at least one event a month, but more if the demand is there!

Where small, friendly dogs and their human families can get together and have fun play dates, share advice and friendship. All breeds of dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly. This should be a great opportunity for our sweet dogs to get out and socialize with one another.

We could also try some walks with the small dogs who are inclined to walk. Another …

I love dogs! Actually, I love cats, too. In fact, I love animals. Dogs are just so easy to love, but they need special attention and some dogs need more activity than we can give them. I'd like to offer a venue for people to spend time with their furry friends and meet some others people, too. Hiking with our dogs benefits all of us. We'll try to invite a trainer now and then, and make it fun! See you on the trail. Tail wags and belly rubs,   Debbie Barnett

This is a group for dog lovers and dog owners who often travel and hate leaving their furry friends in kennels.
